The Bait Shop Cabin was perfect for our weekend anniversary trip! Luxurious touches like 2 fireplaces, a rain head shower/steamer, and an extremely comfortable king-size bed left us feeling pampered in this cozy cabin. It was just right for us, and we would definitely come back again. Thank you, Heidi!

Couple of suggestions:would of been helpful to have wifi password posted...unless we just missed it. Sofa sleeper could be upgraded. Fire pit should be secured....was found on neighbors yard. Neighborhood kinda sketchy.
